Seriously, I just started looking into building a small office in my basement and this has been one of the best explanations of framing I have watched so far.
I am so glad I found you! Thank you for being so detailed and helping with my confidence. I feel like I can actually frame out the much-needed bathroom in the basement. ❤
This is a great resource. I was wondering about baseplates first instead of building the whole wall and raising it, this definitely proves it can be done that way.
Girl...that’s was an amazing tutorial! I have framed; through lots of trial and error, I had a finished product, but if I’d had a tutorial like this I would have achieved waaaaaaay better results!
You are amazing!!!! Thank you for sharing your experience and story! You are an inspiration!!! I will be starting my basement framing project too! You have proven me again that woman alone can do anything, even basement framing ❤❤❤thank you for this video !!!!!
Absolutely great video with in-depth calculations. Loved it and watching more videos soon. I have already started reno in my basement after watching this. I will subscribe for more. Keep it coming 😀👍
Well done! It’s nice to see someone giving good information and using correct terms like “Plumb” for a vertical framing member. Good luck with the rest of your project! Thanks for sharing.
Wow, interesting! Does that work? I would think whatever you would attach it to would also move if that is the problem, or is it just the basement floor that you have trouble with?
Handymom just basements we actually have huge pillars that are adjustable in the basement that can help with any settling. They are attached to the main steel beam in basement ceiling! So far so good! Lol they are almost like a jack. Luckily we were able to put it in the laundry room so not visible to guests.
Thank you for this video. I had a hard time seeing how to frame a wall "on the fly" like this vs building it on the floor and raising it. I have a room that has 2 frames already but two walls are exposed that I want to frame but to build a frame in that room on the ground is impossible, and building it out side and trying to bring it in is impossible as well.
My house has a decent basement but I think I leave it unfinished and make it into my gym area. and maybe some storage no water down there at all minus inlet to house and the water heater so I think it be a great gym place
Haha! I’m not sure quite how that would fit in with my only-available-for-filming-during-nap-time schedule, but it could be fun 😉 I’m so glad you’re enjoying my videos!
Wow I feel emasculated because you make it look so easy..... I'm about to finish my garage and put a bathroom in there. Have a concrete floor and framing already around all 4 walls. Except they appear to be 22 inches in center for some reason. Your video will definitely be helpful. I'm just trying to piece things together while having never done anything like this before.
The rough opening should have plenty of room to accommodate a floor that isn’t level, so you don’t need to worry about it in the framing stage. The process of hanging the door frame itself is when you will take it into account by either shimming up or trimming down one leg of the door frame to make the top of the frame level.
Hello! Question! I thought for studs with plumbing running through them we had to use 2x6, not 2x4? Can you explain why you didn't need to use 2x6? (I bought a ton of 2x6 so if I can swap it for 2x4 to save money that'd be amazing.)
What screws are you using to screw the studs into the top plate? I don't see that listed in the supply list. Also, I think I see that you are screwing one screw in the FRONT of the stud into the top plate, and one screw in the SIDE of the stud into the top plate. Is that correct? Usually a nailer would put both nails on the side right? Last question, about which screws to use to screw the studs into the top plate. Did you use 3" or is 2 1/2" ok? Thanks!
It’s actually a requirement for any piece of framing that comes in contact with concrete to be treated. So in a basement situation, a bottom plate sitting on a concrete floor needs to be treated, and if you were attaching your studs directly to the foundation walls those would need to be treated as well. 😊
Great video! Just curious do you leave any gap between the joists and exterior brick wall to count for non plumb brick walls and to insulate from moisture of the basement brick?
This may be a silly question- I'm wondering what you came up with on the ceiling for drywall backing. Since your top plate is lower than the floor joists above wouldn't you need to install some sort of backer that falls lower to achieve that? Or do you install the drywall to the floor joists to them and cut your drywall sheets tall enough to meet it?
Yes! The walls are built to butt right to the bottom of the floor joists, so for the walls that run parallel to the joists, or for corners that are farther than 4” from the nearest joist, you go back in once the walls are in place and attach drywall backing to the top of the top plates overhanging into the room, so that the ceiling drywall can be attached completely around the perimeter.
@@JunksawStudio @Handymom Thanks for replying to my question. Your videos on framing have been the most helpful I've found. It was helpful to see you do the math. So many people leave that part out because they think it's common knowledge.
If the wall was non-structural like these furred basement walls, I would see no issue with doing it that way. For supporting walls I would be a little more hesitant to break from standard procedure.

I’m sure you did great 😆 Thank you so much! I hope it can be a good resource for people like you say!

I watched this video for my basement bathroom. Thank you for the lesson!
That's a good dog

Just framed my bathroom basement using the information from this video! Thanks!
Best and EASY TUTO EVER. THANK YOU SO MUCH
Very good video. I like how you explain details most tradies will ignore in videos.
We have so much ground movement we have to use a floating wall in the basement! Love watching can’t wait to see finished bathroom
Wow, interesting! Does that work? I would think whatever you would attach it to would also move if that is the problem, or is it just the basement floor that you have trouble with?

Your so smart & explain very well!!!
Great Video
Cute and handy. Your significant other is lucky to have you.
Also: The puppo is a nice touch :)
You've got a great helper there.
what a clear explanation! thank you
I also have no friends. You're f-ing awesome!
Great video, clear and succinct , and 1st result for my query, thanks!

We are about to frame a bathroom in our basement, this was so helpful and easy to follow! Thanks :)
Aww what a nice shop dog.

Haha! I’m not sure quite how that would fit in with my only-available-for-filming-during-nap-time schedule, but it could be fun 😉 I’m so glad you’re enjoying my videos!
Hard to believe you have no friends I could use a hand
Great video
Thank you so much! I’d like to do my own powder room dnstrs & this is a good start.
please for the love of god dont....
Such great tips. I was wondering if you have the video for framing the tub surround?
Did you do a video showing how you framed the tub surround?
I was wondering the same. It says it's there but no link
love the dog

Terrific! Thanks!
Love your videos
Awesome!!!
Taadaah! Great vid
Great video keep the good work right on
Great video, do you need to frame all walls ...I was thinking of leaving the brick/block wall exposed and then painting as a statement wall?
Havent watched your other videos so maybe explained in them. Did you frame/start on the rest of the basement before the bathroom?
did you make sure your top plate was level?
I love it
You go girl!! I Love this video!! Keep it up!!
Thanks Liza!! Hope it was helpful 😁
Thank you
love it...what if your floor is not leveled?
The rough opening should have plenty of room to accommodate a floor that isn’t level, so you don’t need to worry about it in the framing stage. The process of hanging the door frame itself is when you will take it into account by either shimming up or trimming down one leg of the door frame to make the top of the frame level.
Necessary to use the adhesive?

Great job! Thanks for this! I am getting ready to try and DIY a basement bathroom. Did the tub surround video go away?
Can you do an interior wall? I am putting in a new wall to enlarge a room for a walk in closet.
Is there special framing needed in the wall where the sink will go?
Can I frame with my power drill and screws? I thought I had to use nails
What type of screws were you using to attach the studs to the base and top plate?
What is that red circular cover in the basement floor?
i was under the impression that framing with PT lumber is a no no for the fact that it changes form as it dries. Is this true ?
It’s actually a requirement for any piece of framing that comes in contact with concrete to be treated. So in a basement situation, a bottom plate sitting on a concrete floor needs to be treated, and if you were attaching your studs directly to the foundation walls those would need to be treated as well. 😊
whats plum mean, and have you done rough plumbing
What if you want to build a floor instead of using the concrete floor ?

@@JunksawStudio @Handymom Thanks for replying to my question. Your videos on framing have been the most helpful I've found. It was helpful to see you do the math. So many people leave that part out because they think it's common knowledge.
How would that work for sound proofing?
Seems to be some debate about whether you can pre build wall and raise it in. And use shims. What’s your opinion?
If the wall was non-structural like these furred basement walls, I would see no issue with doing it that way. For supporting walls I would be a little more hesitant to break from standard procedure.
Handymom yep I am referring to non structural basement walls thanks!
I like you !!!!!
Can you address fire blocking?
can you help me do mine??....

What happened to the frame a tub video?
I'm having a very hare time hearing her.
Love the video. You are very specific with measurements. Tone it down a bit. Regular people get bored by that. Just make them feel they can do it too.
This video with the specific measurements was perfect.
X🎊
Why not just screw in top and bottom plates first and them mark out the spacing for studs rather than marking them out prior.
Good video, but over 3 minutes of ads was excessive.
Shoot... I didn’t use treated 2x4 for the bottom plates. 🤦♂️😤
I know I'm wrong. But my brain is telling me I should move the 3/4" forward not back for marking studs
You no sefaty
Why do you switch from seemingly normal to a baby voice? I can't stay engaged.
How my I help you beautiful girl
I think you are pretty handy. Pretty pretty too. Want to eat some food with me sometime?
